PANews reported on May 5 that, according to Forbes, SBF's early investment portfolio is being re-examined by the market. Some believe that if SBF had not been imprisoned due to the FTX crash, its venture capital investments could theoretically have generated an additional wealth of up to approximately $100 billion.

Before FTX collapsed, SBF had built an investment portfolio covering many prominent companies, including Anthropic, SpaceX, Robinhood, and AI programming tool Cursor, which was considered to demonstrate significant foresight.

Industry insiders point out that he had already bet on key sectors before the AI ​​wave broke out, including:

• Cursor recently partnered with SpaceX, potentially valuing the company at $60 billion.
• Anthropic's valuation is approaching $90 billion.

Rory O'Driscoll, a partner at Scale Venture Partners, said that SBF had already invested in several core AI companies before ChatGPT, "demonstrating a rare investment acumen."

However, this "investment talent narrative" was ultimately and completely altered by the FTX collapse. SBF is currently serving a 25-year prison sentence for misappropriating over $8 billion in client funds.

At his peak, his personal wealth reached approximately $24 billion, earning him a place on the Forbes 400 list. Now, his venture capital prowess is intertwined with his history of financial crimes, making him one of the most controversial cases in crypto history.
